DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The optical imaging system of the present invention is described with FIG. 1A as an example, to illustrate that the embodiments have similar lens combination and configuration relationship, and to illustrate that the embodiments have the same conditions of the optical imaging system, and the differences are described in details in the following embodiments.

Taking FIG. 1A as an example, the optical imaging system 10 comprises, from an object side to an image side along an optical axis (from left to right in FIG. 1A) in sequence, a first lens element 110, a second lens element 120, a third lens element 130, a fourth lens element 140, and a fifth lens element 150.

Additionally, the optical imaging system 10 further comprises a stop 100 and an image plane 170 disposed therein. An electronic sensor (not shown) may be disposed on the image plane 170 for imaging by the optical imaging system 10.

The first lens element 110 comprises an object-side surface 111 and an image-side surface 112. The first lens element 110 with positive refractive power may provide partial refractive power needed by the optical imaging system 10 and reduce the total optical length. Moreover, the object-side surface 111 of the first lens element 110 can be a convex surface to enhance the positive refractive power of the first lens element 110 and to further reduce the total length of the optical imaging system.

The second lens element 120 comprises an object-side surface 121 and an image-side surface 122. The second lens element 120 with positive refractive power may enhance the positive refractive power configuration.

The third lens element 130 comprises an object-side surface 131 and an image-side surface 132. The third lens element 130 with negative refractive power may favorably correct the aberration and the chromatic aberration of the optical imaging system 10 at the same time. Furthermore, the image-side surface 132 of the third lens element 130 may be a concave surface to enhance the negative refractive power of the third lens element 130, so as to correct the aberration of the optical imaging system 10. The third lens element 130 may include at least one inflection point for reducing the angle of incidence on the electronic sensor (not shown) from the off-axis field.

The fourth lens element 140 comprises an object-side surface 141 and an image-side surface 142. Furthermore, at least one of the object-side surface 141 of the fourth lens element 140 and the image-side surface 142 of the fourth lens element 140 is aspheric. Moreover, the image-side surface 142 of the second lens element 140 may be a convex surface for enhancing the positive refractive power of the fourth lens element 140 and further reducing the total optical length.

The fifth lens element 150 comprises an object-side surface 151 and a concave image-side surface 152. The fourth lens element 140 with positive refractive power forms a telephoto lens with the fifth lens element 150 with negative refractive power, in order to reduce the total optical length and miniaturize the optical imaging system 10. In addition, at least one of the object-side surface 151 and the image-side surface 152 of the fifth lens element 150 is aspheric. Moreover, the object-side surface 151 of the fifth lens element 150 may be convex near the optical axis, and the concave image-side surface 152 of the fifth lens element 150 can reduce the total optical length by increasing the distance from a principal point of the optical imaging system 10 to the image plane 170. Accordingly, the optical imaging system 10 becomes more compact. The fifth lens element 150 may include at least one inflection point for correcting the off-axis aberration.

Furthermore, the fourth lens element 140 and the fifth lens element 150 can be plastic lens elements. Hence, the manufacturing cost and the weight of the optical imaging system 10 are reduced and it is beneficial to the manufacturing of the aspheric surface lens.

The optical imaging system 10 of the present invention satisfies the following relation: 2.00 mm<Td<3.00 mm  (Condition 1) 0.65<SL/TTL<1.10  (Condition 2) Td<3.00 mm  (Condition 3)

Td is an axial distance from the object-side surface 111 of the first lens element 110 to the image-side surface 152 of the fifth lens element 150, SL is a distance from the aperture stop 100 to the image plane 170, TTL is a distance from the object-side surface 111 of the first lens element 110 to an image plane 170.

When the optical imaging system 10 satisfies Condition 1 or Condition 3 can miniaturize the optical imaging system 10. Therefore, the optical imaging system 10 is suitable for lightweight, slim, and portable electronics. In some embodiments, the optical imaging system 10 further satisfies a stricter condition: 2.20 mm<Td<2.80 mm.

When the optical imaging system 10 satisfies Condition 2, the position of the aperture stop 100 is close to the third lens element 130. The view angle can be increased, and both the distortion and the chromatic aberration of magnification can be corrected. Additionally, the sensitivity of the optical imaging system 10 is effectively reduced. In some embodiments, the optical imaging system 10 further satisfies a stricter condition: 0.65<SL/TTL<1.10 or 0.90<SL/TTL<1.10.

Moreover, the optical imaging system 10 of the present invention may further satisfy at least one of the following conditions: 0<v ₁−(v ₂ +v ₃)<25  (Condition 4) 0.1<R ₁₀ /f<0.5  (Condition 5) 0.77<(ΣCT)/Td<0.95  (Condition 6) 29<v ₁ −v ₃<45  (Condition 7) 0.20<CT ₃ /CT ₄<0.55  (Condition 8) v₁ is an Abbe number of the first lens element 110, v₂ is an Abbe number of the second lens element 120, and v₃ is an Abbe number of the third lens element 130, f is an overall focal length of the optical imaging system 10, R₁₀ is a radius of curvature of the image-side surface 152 of the fifth lens element 150, (ΣCT) is a sum of axial thicknesses of the first lens element 110, the second lens element 120, the third lens element 130, the fourth lens element 140, and the fifth lens element 150, Td is a distance from the object-side surface 111 of the first lens element 110 to the image-side surface 152 of the fifth lens element 150 on the optical axis, CT₃ is an axial thickness of the third lens element 130, and CT₄ is an axial thickness of the fourth lens element 140.

When the optical imaging system 10 of the present invention satisfies Condition 4, it can correct the chromatic aberration of the optical imaging system 10. When the optical imaging system 10 of the present invention satisfies Condition 5, the principal point of the system is away from the image plane 170, and thus the total length of the system is further reduced. The optical imaging system 10 of the present invention satisfying Condition 6 can reduce the total optical length and miniaturize the optical imaging system 10. The optical imaging system 10 of the present invention satisfying Condition 7 can correct the chromatic aberration of the optical imaging system 10. When the optical imaging system 10 of the present invention satisfies Condition 8, the third lens element 130 and the fourth lens element 140 have appropriate thickness, respectively for easier lens assembling process.

In the optical imaging system 10 of the present invention, all the lens elements (that is, the first lens element 110, the second lens element 120, the third lens element 130, the fourth lens element 140, and the fifth lens element 150) may be made of glass or plastic. If the lens element is made of glass, there is more freedom in distributing the refractive power for the optical imaging system 10. If a lens element of the present invention is made of plastic, the production cost is effectively reduced. In addition, the surfaces of lens elements can be aspheric and easily made into non-spherical profiles, allowing more design parameter freedom which can be used to reduce aberrations and total number of the lens elements, so that the total optical length of the assembly can be reduced effectively.

In the optical imaging system 10 of the present invention, a convex surface means the surface is a convex surface at a paraxial site. A concave surface means the surface is a concave surface at a paraxial site. In addition, at least one aperture stop (such as flare stops, field stops, or other types of stops) may be disposed within the optical imaging system 10 if necessary to eliminate the stray light, to adjust the field of view, or to provide other improvements concerning the image quality.

Fno is an f-number value of the optical imaging system, and HFOV is a half of a maximal viewing angle in the optical imaging system.
